Screw the auxiliary handle 6 on the left, right or on the top of the head of the device.

Attaching and replacing roughing / grinding / cutting discs

Take note of the dimensions of the roughing / grinding or cutting discs. The circular hole must ﬁt on to the mounting ﬂange without play. Do not use a reducer piece or adapter.

WARNING! DANGER OF INJURY! Pull the mains plug out of the mains socket before you carry out any task on the device.

Check the condition of the roughing / grinding or cutting discs. They must be free of damage, moisture or cracks.

Otherwise they could break up during use and cause injury.

DANGER OF BURNS! Always wear protective gloves when changing a roughing / grinding or cutting disc.

Roughing / grinding and cutting discs become hot during use. Do not touch them until after they have cooled down.

NOTE: Always ensure the discs are free of dirt before use.

Use only abrasive consumables or tools with an allowable speed at least as high as the no-load speed of the device.

DANGER OF INJURY! Press the spindle lock button 11 only after the mounting spindle 14 has reached a standstill.

Press the spindle lock button 11 to block the drive. Release the clamping nut 13 using the spanner

Place the roughing / grinding or cutting disc on to the mounting ﬂange 15 with its labelled side facing towards the device.

Then replace the clamping nut 13 , with its raised side facing upwards, on to the mounting spindle 14 .

Press the spindle lock button 11 to block the drive. Tighten the clamping nut 13 again with the spanner 17 .

NOTE: Replace a new disc immediately if it runs unevenly or vibrates after being exchanged. After replacing a disc let the device run under no-load conditions for 30 seconds as a safety check. Look out for unusual noises or generation of sparks. Check that all the fastened-on parts are correctly attached.

Pay attention to see that the arrow showing the direction of rotation on the roughing / grinding or cutting discs (including diamond cutting discs) corresponds with the direction of rotation of the device (see arrow on the head of the device).
